Scattered showers and thunderstorms will extend over the southern Rockies, while showers will drizzle over parts of the central Rockies.

The West Coast will be warm and dry, with scattered clouds in the Pacific Northwest and mostly sunny skies in California.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Thursday ranged from 36 degrees at Yellowstone, Wyo., to 107 degrees at New Braunfels, Texas.
